Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electromechanical technology, and in particular to a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] Food processors in the current technology process food into a paste (cutting, grinding). The paste can be understood as a mixture of solids and liquid. To achieve a better drinking experience, further filtration is required to separate the solids and liquid. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the main technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a food processor that can reduce the filtering of the slurry.

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution: A food processor is provided, comprising a body shell, a container, and a protective cover. A first notch is provided on the side wall of the body shell. The container is rotatably housed within the body shell about its own axis. The protective cover is located inside the body shell and fitted around the outer periphery of the container, with at least a transparent area corresponding to the first notch.

[0005] In some embodiments of this application, the fuselage housing is a cylindrical shape with an open top. The cavity of the fuselage housing includes a cavity body and a positioning cavity. The cavity body is cylindrical, and its top extends radially outward to form the positioning cavity. The protective cover includes a protective cover body and a positioning part. The protective cover body is cylindrical, and its top extends radially outward to form the positioning part. The protective cover body is used to be accommodated in the cavity body, and the positioning part is used to be accommodated in the positioning cavity.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the shape and size of the positioning cavity and the positioning part are matched so that the housing defines the protective cover in its radial position through the positioning cavity.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the cavity of the fuselage housing and the protective cover are both rotating bodies with their own axis as the center of rotation, so that the protective cover can rotate relative to the fuselage housing.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the protective cover includes a shielding portion, and the bottom end of the protective cover body extends radially inward to form the shielding portion.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the food processor includes an elastic element. The elastic element is annular and is used to be fitted around the protective cover body and sandwiched between the outer wall of the protective cover body and the inner wall of the machine body.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the food processor includes a grip and a variable structural member. The variable structural member is connected to the grip and can switch between a first structure and a second structure. The variable structural member of the first structure is connected to a container so that the grip can transfer the container, while the variable structural member of the second structure is detached from the container so that the variable structural member does not obstruct the rotation of the container. The main body is a cylindrical shape with an open top, and a first notch extends upward to the top edge of the main body, with the grip at least partially accommodated in the first notch.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the food processor includes a body cover. The body cover is used to open or close the top opening of the body housing. In the closed state, the body cover is used to clamp the gripping member in the vertical direction with the body housing.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, a second notch is provided on the top edge of the protective cover for accommodating a portion of the grip.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the fuselage housing has a first limiting portion and the gripping member has a second limiting portion. The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are used to abut against each other in the circumferential direction of the fuselage housing to limit the relative position of the gripping member and the fuselage housing in the circumferential direction of the fuselage housing.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0015] Unlike existing technologies, in this application, the container of the food processor can rotate to centrifuge the slurry inside the container, causing the residue to adhere to the inner wall of the container, thereby separating the residue from the slurry and reducing or even eliminating the need for filtration.

[0016] The casing has a first notch on its side wall, allowing the user to observe the interior of the casing. Additionally, a protective cover is fitted around the container to prevent accidental injury at the first notch during container rotation. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this application and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all structures. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a food processor in a non-use state according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 In the middle, both container 30 and protective cover 80 are located outside the fuselage 10. Figure 2 In the middle, the container 30 is located outside the fuselage housing 10, and the protective cover 80 is located inside the fuselage housing 10.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the food processor includes a body shell 10, a container 30, and a protective cover 80.

[0031] The main body 10 is the structural body of the food processor, used to install other components. The main body 10 is a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open top. The main body 10 has a cavity 12 to accommodate the container 30. A first notch 11 is provided on the side wall of the main body 10. The first notch 11 extends upward to the top edge of the main body 10. The first notch 11 connects the cavity 12 of the main body 10 to the outside; therefore, the main body 10 is open on both the top and sides.

[0032] Container 30 is used to hold cooking ingredients. The cooking ingredients can be a mixture of soybeans and water. Container 30 can be placed inside the housing 10 from top to bottom and removed from the housing 10 from bottom to top. Container 30 can be separated from the housing 10 to facilitate the transfer of the slurry inside or the cleaning of container 30. When container 30 is contained within the housing 10, container 30 can rotate about its own axis L1.

[0033] The protective cover 80 is located inside the housing 10 and is fitted around the outer periphery of the container 30. The protective cover 80 is transparent at least in a portion corresponding to the first notch 11. Since the protective cover 80 in this embodiment can rotate relative to the container 30 (see below for details), the entire protective cover 80 is made of transparent material, such as glass. In other embodiments, the protective cover 80 may be transparent only in the area corresponding to the first notch 11.

[0034] The food processor's container 30 can rotate to centrifuge the slurry inside, causing the residue to adhere to the inner wall of the container 30, thereby separating the residue from the slurry and reducing or even eliminating the need for filtration.

[0035] The casing 10 has a first notch 11 on its side wall, allowing the user to observe the interior of the casing 10 through the first notch 11, for example, whether the container 30 is rotating. If the side wall of the container 30 is made of a transparent material, the interior of the container 30 can also be observed through the first notch 11, for example, the degree of cooking of the food inside the container 30.

[0036] The protective cover 80 is fitted around the outer periphery of the container 30 to prevent accidental injury at the first notch 11 during the rotation of the container 30.

[0037] The following section describes in detail the situation where container 30 can rotate around its own axis L1.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 . Figure 3This is a cross-sectional view of the food processor in use in this embodiment. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Enlarged view of partial view A. The food processor also includes blade assembly 50 and main unit 60.

[0039] The blade assembly 50 is rotatably mounted inside the container 30 for stirring and crushing food ingredients.

[0040] The main unit 60 is disposed in the housing 10, located at the bottom of the cavity 12 of the housing 10. The main unit 60 is capable of driving the container 30 and the blade assembly 50 to rotate.

[0041] A first connector 3111 is provided at the bottom of the container 30. The first connector 3111 is a hollow cylinder with an open bottom. A first bearing hole 3112 is also provided at the bottom of the container 30. The first bearing hole 3112 communicates with the cavity of the first connector 3111. The knife assembly 50 includes a first cooking shaft 51, a blade 52, and a second connector 53. The first cooking shaft 51 passes through the bottom of the container 30, with its top end located inside the container 30 and fixedly connected to the blade 52, and its bottom end located outside the container 30. The first cooking shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the container 30 through a first bearing 3113. The first bearing 3113 is a bidirectional bearing.

[0042] The main unit 60 includes a motor 61, a first bearing housing 62, a second bearing housing 63, a second bearing 64, a third bearing 66, a second cooking shaft 65, a third connector 67, and a fourth connector 68.

[0043] The motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the housing 10 and can rotate in both directions. The first bearing seat 62 is fixedly mounted on the housing 10. The first bearing seat 62 has a second bearing hole 621 with an open top. In this embodiment, the first bearing seat 62 and the housing 10 are an integral structure. In other embodiments, they can be separate structures. The second bearing seat 63 is a hollow cylindrical shape, with its upper outer diameter larger than its lower outer diameter. A third bearing hole 631 is formed at the upper end of the second bearing seat 63. The lower end of the second bearing seat 63 is inserted into the second bearing hole 621 and is rotatably connected to the first bearing seat 62 via a second bearing 64. The second cooking shaft 65 is inserted into the third bearing hole 631 and is rotatably connected to the second bearing seat 63 via a third bearing 66. The bottom end of the second cooking shaft 65 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 61 and rotates under the drive of the motor 61. Both the second bearing 64 and the third bearing 66 are one-way bearings. When one of the second bearing 64 and the third bearing 66 is rotatably connected, the other is locked. The third connector 67 is fixed to the top of the second cooking shaft 65 and is used to insert and cooperate with the second connector 53 in the vertical direction, so that the second cooking shaft 65 can drive the first cooking shaft 51 to rotate. The fourth connector 68 is generally cylindrical and is fitted onto the top of the second bearing seat 63. The fourth connector 68 and the first connector 3111 are inserted and cooperated with each other in the vertical direction, so that the second bearing seat 63 can drive the container 30 to rotate. The fourth connector 68 and the second bearing seat 63 can be a separate structure or an integral structure.

[0044] Before cooking, align the first connector 3111 at the bottom of container 30 with the fourth connector 68, so that the first connector 3111 and the fourth connector 68 are inserted and engaged in the vertical direction. At the same time as the first connector 3111 and the fourth connector 68 are inserted and engaged, the second connector 53 and the third connector 67 automatically engage and engage, so that the first cooking shaft 51 and the second cooking shaft 65 are connected.

[0045] The food processor can crush food ingredients. Specifically, when the output shaft of the motor 61 rotates forward, the third bearing 66 is in a rotating connection state, while the second bearing 64 is in a locked state, and the container 30 cannot rotate. The motor 61 drives the blade assembly 50 to rotate through the second food processing shaft 65, cutting and grinding the food ingredients. During the grinding process, the non-rotational container 30 improves the grinding effect.

[0046] The food processor can centrifuge food ingredients. When the output shaft of motor 61 reverses, the second bearing 64 is in a rotating connection state, and the third bearing 66 is in a locked state. Motor 61 drives the blade assembly 50 and container 30 to rotate together via the first food processing shaft 51, centrifuging the slurry. When the rotation speed of container 30 reaches the predetermined speed, the slurry moves towards the inner wall of container 30 under the action of centrifugal force and comes into contact with the inner wall of container 30. The residue (i.e., solid particles such as food residue in the slurry) in the slurry adheres to the inner wall of container 30, while the liquid (i.e., the highly fluid liquid in the slurry) flows back to the bottom of container 30, achieving separation of slurry and residue. The slurry does not need to be filtered after being poured out. The predetermined speed can be from 500 rpm to 5000 rpm. The value of the predetermined speed can be set according to the type of food ingredients.

[0047] The installation structure of the protective cover 80 is described in detail below.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Figure 5 and Figure 6 yes Figure 3 Enlarged views of partial views B and C.

[0049] To facilitate cleaning of the bottom of the cavity 12 of the housing 10, the protective cover 80 can be separated from the housing 10. Before cleaning the bottom of the cavity 12 of the housing 10, the protective cover 80 can be removed from the cavity 12 of the housing 10 from bottom to top. After cleaning, the protective cover 80 can be inserted back into the housing 10 from top to bottom.

[0050] Specifically, the cavity 12 of the fuselage housing 10 includes a cavity body 121 and a positioning cavity 122. The cavity body 121 is cylindrical, with its top end extending radially outward to form the positioning cavity 122. The positioning cavity 122 is arranged around the cavity body 121. The diameter of the positioning cavity 122 is larger than that of the cavity body 121. A bearing surface 123 is formed between the positioning cavity 122 and the cavity body 121. The protective cover 80 includes a protective cover body 81 and a positioning part 82. The protective cover body 81 is cylindrical, with both its top and bottom ends open. The top end of the protective cover 80 extends radially outward to form the positioning part 82. The positioning part 82 is arranged around the protective cover body 81.

[0051] When the food processor is in use, the protective cover body 81 is housed in the cavity body 121, and the positioning part 82 is housed in the positioning cavity 122. The body shell 10 supports the positioning part 82 via the bearing surface 123.

[0052] To control the distance between the inner wall of the protective cover 80 and the outer wall of the container 30 to prevent the protective cover 80 from obstructing the rotation of the container 30, the housing 10 defines the radial position of the protective cover 80 through the positioning cavity 122. Specifically, the shape and size of the positioning cavity 122 and the positioning part 82 are matched. For example, the positioning cavity 122 is a cylinder with a diameter of 100 mm, and the positioning part 82 can be a cylinder with a diameter of 98 mm.

[0053] In this embodiment, the protective cover 80 needs to be able to rotate relative to the fuselage housing 10. Therefore, both the cavity 12 of the fuselage housing 10 and the protective cover 80 are rotating bodies with their own axes as the center of rotation. In this embodiment, the cavity body 121 and the positioning cavity 122 in the cavity 12 of the fuselage housing 10 are both cylindrical and coaxial. The positioning part 82 and the protective cover body 81 in the protective cover 80 are both cylindrical and coaxial.

[0054] The protective cover 80 also includes a shielding portion 83. The shielding portion 83 extends radially inward from the bottom end of the protective cover body 81. The shielding portion 83 is arranged around the inner side of the protective cover body 81. Thus, the shielding portion 83 can at least partially shield the gap between the protective cover 80 and the container 30 to reduce dust on the bottom of the outer casing. In this embodiment, when the food processor is in use, the edge of the shielding portion 83 is located directly below the container 30, and the protective cover 80 can completely shield the gap between the protective cover 80 and the container 30.

[0055] To prevent the protective cover body 81 from wobbling radially, the food processor also includes an elastic element 90. The elastic element 90 is annular and fits around the protective cover body 81. After the protective cover 80 is inserted into the main body housing 10, the elastic element 90 is sandwiched between the outer wall of the protective cover body 81 and the inner wall of the main body housing 10. Alternatively, the elastic element 90 can be pre-embedded in the inner wall of the main body housing 10, passing through it during the insertion of the protective cover 80, thus securing the elastic element 90 between the outer wall of the protective cover body 81 and the inner wall of the main body housing 10. The elastic element 90 can be made of rubber. The installation position of the elastic element 90 is lower than the bottom of the first notch 11.

[0056] The specific scheme for transfer container 30 is described below.

[0057] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 . Figure 7 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a three-dimensional structural schematic of the container 30 and the transfer component 40 in the food processor, with a partial cross-sectional view of the transfer component 40. Figure 8 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the transfer component 40 in the food processor shown.

[0058] The cooking device also includes a transfer component 40. The user can hold the transfer component 40 and transfer the container 30 through it. After cooking is complete, the user can transfer the container 30 from the housing 10 to pour out the cooking ingredients inside.

[0059] The transfer assembly 40 includes a gripper 41 and a variable structural member 47.

[0060] The grip 41 is for the user to hold. The grip 41 is in the shape of a "7". A variable structural member 47 is connected to the grip 41. To make the exposed part of the transfer assembly 40 simpler, the grip 41 is a hollow structure, and a portion of the variable structural member 47 is housed inside the grip 41 and connected to it. The variable structural member 47 can switch between a first structure and a second structure. In the first structure, the variable structural member 47 is connected to the container 30 so that the grip 41 can transfer the container 30. In the second structure, the variable structural member 47 is separated from the container 30 so that it does not obstruct the rotation of the container 30.

[0061] When container 30 needs to be transferred, the variable structure 47 is set to the first structure, which is connected to container 30, allowing the user to transfer container 30 via grip 41. Before container 30 rotates, the variable structure 47 is set to the second structure, which is separated from container 30, ensuring that the variable structure 47 does not obstruct the rotation of container 30. Because the variable structure 47 can switch between the first and second structures, container 30 can be easily transferred, and during cooking, it will not affect the rotation of container 30 around its own axis L1.

[0062] Users can manually switch between the first and second structures using the variable structure component 47. However, user error may damage the blender. For example, if the user does not switch the variable structure component 47 from the first to the second structure before the container 30 rotates, the transfer component 40 will be connected to the container 30. When the main unit 60 drives the container 30 to rotate, the transfer component 40 will rotate with the container 30, causing it to collide with the casing 10 and damage the blender. To avoid this problem, the following improvements are made.

[0063] Please refer to the following: Figure 1The food processor also includes a body cover 20. The body cover 20 is used to open or close the top opening of the body housing 10. In this embodiment, by opening or closing the body cover 20, the variable structure member 47 switches between a first structure and a second structure. Specifically, the transfer assembly 40 also includes a transmission member 44. The transmission member 44 is disposed on the grip member 41 and engages with the variable structure member 47. The body cover 20 has a force-applying part 22. The force-applying part 22 can be a protrusion protruding from the body cover 20. During the process of closing the opening, the body cover 20 can apply force to the transmission member 44 through the force-applying part 22, thereby causing the variable structure member 47 to be in the second structure, thus separating the variable structure member 47 from the container 30. During the process of opening the opening, the body cover 20 can release the force on the transmission member 44 through the force-applying part 22, thereby causing the variable structure member 47 to be in the first structure, thus connecting the variable structure member 47 to the container 30.

[0064] When the food processor is working (with the lid 20 closed), the variable structural component 47 remains separate from the container 30. Only after the food processor has finished working (with the lid 20 open) does the variable structural component 47 connect to the container 30.

[0065] Opening or closing the cover 20 is a necessary action for the user when performing food processing. This action switches between the first and second structures of the variable structural component 47, preventing accidental damage to the food processor. Furthermore, omitting the switching action makes it more convenient for the user.

[0066] In another scenario, after centrifuging the slurry in container 30, container 30 continues to rotate due to inertia. After opening the cover 20, the transfer component 40 connects to container 30. Driven by container 30, the transfer component 40 contacts the body housing 10, preventing container 30 from rotating and causing it to stop immediately. Since the main unit 60 no longer drives container 30 to rotate, the contact force between the transfer component 40 and the body housing 10 will not damage the food processor. Therefore, after the user opens the cover 20, the transfer component 40 immediately stops container 30 from rotating, reducing the user's waiting time. Of course, stopping container 30 with the transfer component 40 is only one possible implementation. A separate stopping component can also be used to stop container 30 rotating due to inertia, or the main unit 60 can be designed so that container 30 stops rotating immediately after the main unit 60 stops driving it.

[0067] Furthermore, the transfer assembly 40 also includes an elastic element 45. One end of the elastic element 45 is connected to the transmission element 44, and the other end is connected to the gripping element 41. The elastic element 45 is used to apply a spring force to the transmission element 44. Specifically, the elastic element 45 is housed in the cavity of the gripping element 41 and is sleeved on a portion of the transmission element 44. The top end of the elastic element 45 abuts against the transmission element 44, and the bottom end abuts against the gripping element 41. The elastic element 45 can be a spring. During the closing process of the fuselage cover 20, the force-applying part 22 of the fuselage cover 20 pushes against the transmission element 44, applying a force to the transmission element 44. This force causes the transmission element 44 to resist the spring force and move downward, thereby driving the variable structure element 47 to switch to the second structure. When the fuselage cover 20 is fully closed, the elastic element 45 is in a compressed state. During the opening of the fuselage cover 20, the force-applying part 22 of the fuselage cover 20 removes its force on the transmission member 44. The elastic force of the elastic member 45 on the transmission member 44 drives the transmission member 44 to move upward, thereby causing the transmission member 44 to drive the variable structure member 47 to switch to the first structure without external force. In this embodiment, the elastic force applied by the elastic member 45 to the transmission member 44 is a pushing force. In other embodiments, the mounting structure of the elastic member 45 can be changed so that the elastic force applied by the elastic member 45 to the transmission member 44 is a pulling force.

[0068] The variable structural member 47 includes a first clamping member 42 and a second clamping member 43. Both the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 are movably disposed on the gripping member 41. The first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 are capable of relative movement, forming a first gap corresponding to the first structure and a second gap corresponding to the second structure. When the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 have the first gap, they are located on both sides of the container 30 and clamp the container 30. When the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 have the second gap, they are located on both sides of the container 30 and do not contact the container 30.

[0069] The transmission member 44 is movably disposed within the gripping member 41. Specifically, the transmission member 44 is housed inside the gripping member 41. The transmission member 44 engages in transmission with the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43, respectively, so that when the transmission member 44 moves, it can drive the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 to move relative to each other. When the transmission member 44 moves in one direction, it causes the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 to move closer together to clamp the container 30 from both sides. When the transmission member 44 moves in the opposite direction, it causes the first clamping member 42 and the second clamping member 43 to move away from each other, thereby releasing the container 30.

[0070] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 . Figure 9 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a three-dimensional structure of the food processor in use.

[0071] When the food processor is in use, the grip 41 is at least partially housed in the first notch 11. Specifically, a portion of the grip 41 extends into the protective cover 80 and connects to the variable structure 47, while the remaining portion is housed in the first notch 11. As a result, the grip 41 does not protrude from the outer wall of the casing 10, making the overall appearance of the food processor more streamlined.

[0072] When the variable structural member 47 is in the second structure, it is separated from the container 30. To limit the vertical position of the variable structural member 47 in the second structure, the fuselage cover 20, in the closed state, clamps the gripping member 41 with the fuselage housing 10 in the vertical direction. The variable structural member 47 of the second structure is connected to the gripping member 41, and after the gripping member 41 is fixed in the vertical position, the position of the variable structural member 47 of the second structure is also fixed.

[0073] To make the structure more compact, a second notch 84 is provided on the top edge of the protective cover 80, which is used to accommodate a portion of the grip 41. During the process of the transfer assembly 40 placing the container 30 into the protective cover 80, a portion of the grip 41 is accommodated in the second notch 84.

[0074] Furthermore, if the position of the variable structural member 47 of the second structure within the predetermined plane S is not defined, it may cause the variable structural member 47 of the second structure to come into contact with the container 30. The predetermined plane S is perpendicular to the axis L1. In a scenario where a food processor is used, the axis L1 extends along the direction of gravity, and in this case, the predetermined plane S is a horizontal plane. To define the position of the variable structural member 47 of the second structure within the predetermined plane S, the transfer assembly 40 also includes a limiting member 46. The limiting member 46 is fixedly connected to the gripping member 41. Specifically, the limiting member 46 and the gripping member 41 are an integral structure. When the container 30 is placed inside the protective cover 80, the protective cover 80 restricts the position of the limiting member 46 within the predetermined plane S, thereby restricting the position of the variable structural member 47 of the second structure within the predetermined plane S and preventing the variable structural member 47 of the second structure from coming into contact with the container 30.

[0075] Specifically, the limiting member 46 is annular and sleeved on the outside of the container 30. The shape of the limiting member 46 matches the shape of the clamping area of ​​the container 30, and is generally annular. When the container 30 is housed within the protective cover 80, the limiting member 46 is also housed within the protective cover 80, and is used to abut against the protective cover 80 in a direction perpendicular to the axis L1. To facilitate the transfer of the container 30, a gap is left between the outer wall surface of the limiting member 46 and the inner wall surface of the protective cover 80 within a predetermined plane S. This gap determines the range of motion of the limiting member 46 within the predetermined plane S, that is, this gap determines the range of motion of the variable structural member 47 of the second structure within the predetermined plane S. This gap ensures that the variable structural member 47 of the second structure does not contact the container 30.

[0076] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the top of the container 30 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting member 46. During the transfer of the container 30, the container 30 is pressed against the limiting member 46 under the action of gravity. The limiting member 46 and the variable structural member 47 jointly support the container 30, thereby reducing the structural strength requirements of the variable structural member 47. In another scenario, during the transfer of the container 30, the limiting member 46 does not support the container 30, and the container 30 is supported only by the variable structural member 47. In the event of accidental separation between the container 30 and the variable structural member 47, the limiting member 46 can prevent the container 30 from falling, improving safety.

[0077] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 10 . Figure 10 This is a bottom view of the three-dimensional structure of the grip 41.

[0078] The fuselage housing 10 has a first limiting part 13. The first limiting part 13 is a protrusion.

[0079] The grip 41 has a second limiting part 411. The second limiting part 411 is a groove provided on the bottom end face of the grip 41, and the groove extends to one side wall of the grip 41.

[0080] The first limiting part 13 and the second limiting part 411 abut against each other in the circumferential direction of the fuselage housing 10 to limit the relative position of the grip 41 and the fuselage housing 10 in the circumferential direction of the fuselage housing 10. When the grip 41 rotates around the fuselage housing 10 in the circumferential direction, the protrusion can enter the groove and abut against the side wall of the groove.

[0081] The first limiting part 13 is located at a predetermined position on the fuselage housing 10, so that when the second limiting part 411 abuts against the first limiting part 13, the grip 41 is located at the edge of the first notch 11 in the circumferential direction of the fuselage housing 10, thereby allowing the user to observe the interior of the fuselage housing 10 through the larger complete area of ​​the first notch 11.

[0082] After placing the container 30 inside the protective cover 80 using the transfer assembly 40, the user rotates the transfer assembly 40 circumferentially around the main body 10 until the first limiting part 13 and the second limiting part 411 abut against each other. Since a portion of the grip 41 is housed in the second notch 84 of the protective cover 80, the protective cover 80 rotates along with the transfer assembly 40 during rotation. The main body cover 20 is then closed. After the food processor has finished its operation, the main body cover 20 is opened, the transfer assembly 40 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the container 30 is then removed from the protective cover 80 using the transfer assembly 40.
